Shantaia's Story

Shantaia is a Country singer & songwriter. Growing up, Shantaia always had a love for country music, entering competitions across the country and performing onstage every chance she had.

Shantaia was the youngest recipient to ever receive a 10k20 grant from Rawlco Radio at age 14 to record an eight song EP featuring all original music and winning the Big Country Talent show competition and performing on the Craven Country Jamboree Main Stage. Shantaia was asked to audition by “The Voice” for season 8, but chose to stay true to her roots and continue on her own path. Since then she has toured the festival circuit, opening for countless Country Artists from The Bellamy Brothers, Charlie Major & Kane Brown to Ryan Hurd & Emerson Drive, and most recently, Chris Lane and Cold Creek County.

In December of 2015, Shantaia had the opportunity to record 3 original songs in Nashville with CCMA and Juno award winning artist Crystal Shawanda, and in 2016, released her first single “Crave You” to radio and after a successful radio & concert tour with her sophomore single “Girls Like Me”.

April of 2017 was a major moment in Shantaia’s life and career; while songwriting in Nashville, TN she signed a management and developing deal with Doug Oliver of Fairhurst Music Management (Cold Creek County, Big City Lights) and is set to release her highly anticipated debut EP 2019.
